Candle Care Tips
At Opal Hues, we take pride in crafting high-quality scented candles that enhance your space with warmth, fragrance, and beauty. To ensure a long-lasting, clean, and safe burn, follow these essential candle care tips:
1. First Burn Matters
- Always allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to prevent tunneling.
- Keep the candle lit for at least 2-3 hours during the first burn.
2. Trim the Wick
- Before each use, trim the wick to ¼ inch to prevent excessive smoke and soot.
- Use a wick trimmer or small scissors for precision.
3. Burn Safely
- Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended or near pets and children.
4. Optimal Burn Time
- Burn your candle for 3-4 hours at a time to maximize longevity and maintain fragrance intensity.
- Avoid burning for more than 4 hours to prevent overheating.
5. Extinguishing the Right Way
- Use a candle snuffer to safely extinguish the flame without causing smoke.
- Avoid blowing out the candle, as this may create wax splatter.
6. Storage & Maintenance
- Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its fragrance.
- Cover jar candles with a lid when not in use to prevent dust accumulation.
7. Reuse & Repurpose
- Once your candle is finished, clean the jar and reuse it for storage, décor, or DIY projects.
By following these simple tips, you can enjoy a longer-lasting, cleaner burn while maximizing the aromatic experience of your Opal Hues candles. Illuminate your space with care and create a tranquil ambiance with every glow! 💛✨
